The Hours: Style 1 key example

Key Examples in The Hours

Prologue
Explanation and Analysis:

Cunningham's writing style throughout The Hours is poetic and lyrical. It is also importantly evocative of the modernist style of prose which Virginia Woolf made her hallmark during her years as a writer and novelist in the early 20th century. On the whole, The Hours is an homage to Virginia Woolf herself, hence the partial mimicking of the style.
